This dramatic and evocative ruined cliff top fortress is called in Scottish Gaelic Dùn Fhoithear, “fort on the shelving slope”. It is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Stonehaven. Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite rising because of its strategic location and defensive strength.
If you practice well the imagination you can even see some scenes of the movie Hamlet released in 1990 and filmed at Dunnottar Castle or perhaps Mel Gibson .
